Lincoln Center, KS
Lincoln Center, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Lincoln Center at the 54th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 1,215 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Lincoln Center's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 52nd percentile nationally.
Lincoln Center's building exposure, zone by zone
1,215 buildings are counted in Lincoln Center, and 79.8% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 6.8% in Direct exposure or the 13.3% rated Minimal.
How Lincoln Center compares
There's little gap between Lincoln Center's 54th national percentile and its 41st percentile inside Kansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lincoln Center ranks 14,400 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,560 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 426 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lincoln Center
At the 54th national percentile, Lincoln Center rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Lincoln Center's 79.8% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Lincoln Center's 54th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Lincoln Center, see the exposure-zones guide.
